Pentax K-S2 specifications

Specs from the American pentax site seem to indicate only one...

Looking at the back I can't see anything resembling an IR port... Pity

Only one Algi!

Thanks Jules...... that's pathetic for a mid spec. camera. I can see the reviews flagging that up with a big red-X

At least I can cross it off my list and stay with the K-5 for now.

I wonder why they've switched the LV and View Pics buttons around?
I can't believe it's just to save a Delete button.

Remember, this camera has WiFi (and NFC). You can use your smartphone for remote triggering (and much more).
This is superior to IR which doesn't work in sunny conditions.

Your right of course steve, plenty of options for controlling the thing remotely, I'll get round to a wifi Pentax eventually, likely when they put it on a K3 (K-S3?) replacement, doubt I'll bother buying a Flucard for the K3 unless they continue with it in the next model (Doubtful now I'd say). I had it on my Fuji X-T1 which nigh halved the battery life form a very poor 250 shots down to just over a hundred and fifty and that was just switching it on and having a bit of a play around with the smart phone app rather than transferring loads of data, it's a power muncher.
It would seem also it has the superior K3 type of sensor cleaning which is nice because it actually does seem to work!
It's a little power house, if it does not sell well there is simply no justice in the world, my wallet is getting palpatations

Thanks Jules.

That's pretty good then.

Return some real working image stabilisation (like the had on the K-5 series years ago) and I'm pretty much in.

They won't, and you can be sure that the comparative magazine review would conclude with something like ... ' the ' canikon' wins outright for its far higher number of autofocus points (a most generous 39), whereas the Pentax disappoints somewhat with the lowest ev figure in this test (a very low -3) !!

Nikon D750 tribute version, now that is a proper light leak!

Mike P's new set up!
Three of these from me, I wish!

Funny it's a single sd card slot given how big that flap is.

I'm more interested in using a lead and would want to transmit the full size JPG straight to a PC which an Eye-Fi Card does quite well on a K-5. I normally use a powerful IR transmitter (to fire the shutter) and it might get picked up by the front sensor anyway or I could fire a WEIN repeater at it for the actual shot.

The problem is the half press to turn the CIF beep on without firing the shutter (it doesn't stay active for long) also I doubt if two Wi-Fi sytems running at the same time would work.

If they can't fit the electronics in for a wired remote they should re-introduce the 2-stage shutter release button with the thread so we can use mechanical wired release cable and bring the bellows back in to proper use too.

Clearly, not a camera designed for everyone.

Is there (or will there ever be) such a thing?

Watch impress jp are showing body armour for it too...
